GDPR Policy for Name Bangla

Last Updated: June 1, 2025

At Name Bangla (https://namebangla.com/), we are committed to upholding the privacy rights of our users, particularly those residing in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK). This GDPR Policy outlines our commitment to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the UK GDPR, and details how we collect, process, protect, and manage the personal data of our users.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law enacted by the European Union. It aims to give individuals more control over their personal data and simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU. The UK GDPR is the equivalent law in the United Kingdom following its departure from the EU.

GDPR defines “personal data” as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

Our Commitment to GDPR Compliance

Name Bangla is dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of data protection and privacy. We are committed to:

  • Transparency: Clearly informing you about what personal data we collect and why.
  • Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency: Processing personal data lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner.
  • Purpose Limitation: Collecting personal data for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processing it in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.
  • Data Minimization: Collecting only the personal data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
  • Accuracy: Keeping personal data accurate and, where necessary, up to date.
  • Storage Limitation: Retaining personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
  • Integrity and Confidentiality: Processing personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.

  3. Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
  4. Vital Interests: Processing is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another natural person.
  5. Public Task: Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
  6. Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

Security of Your Personal Data

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. We limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

International Data Transfers

As Name Bangla operates globally, the personal data we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA and UK who work for us or for one of our service providers.

We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all our third-party service providers to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data in line with our policies. We only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. Where we transfer your data outside the EEA/UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
  • Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
  • Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the EU and the US. (Note: Privacy Shield is no longer the primary mechanism; reference to Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved mechanisms is more current).
